Informative Speech On Tanning

Yet, they are not and possess hidden dangers. A former employee of a tanning salon said this about the conditions of the tanning beds,"I've seen water dripping down on beds, people leaving beds dirty and calling it a night. I go in there to tan, look up...got handprints everywhere,". Doctors and dermatologists say any bacteria can be picked up from a tanning bed. Dirty tanning beds are a great place for bacteria and viruses to grow (WMBF News, 2014). They say that because as the body sweats it creates moisture and the lights help create the moist environment that the bacteria can live in (Gander, K. 2015). Some diseases that are found in tanning beds are athlete's foot, lice, jock itch, staph infections, herpes, warts, faecal bacteria, and more (WMBF News, 2014). A common symptom of unsanitary conditions is ‘tanning bed rash’. The tanning itself dries out the skin causing a rash, but it is most likely from the dried sweat of the last tanner (Arizona Dermatology, 2018). Although not visible to the eye, tanning beds are not as sanitary as they may look, and can carry many

Attention Getter: There is an unexplained increase in skin cancer among people under the age of forty. 30 million people visit an indoor facility each year according to the indoor tanning association. That is 10 percent of the U.S. population voluntarily exposing themselves to UV radiation which causes cancer. UV radiation is a form of energy from natural and artificial sunlight. Excess amounts can cause damage to DNA in the skin. Although some argue tanning is good for you because it helps form a “base tan” and the UV exposure time is controlled. The truth is, each time you lay in a tanning bed, it increases the risk of developing skin cancer

People tan for all types of reasons, maybe to look nice at a school dance or to just get some color for the cold winter months. When people ask tanning salons about indoor tanning they all have gotten very good at justifying the risky

According to Miner, “Women bake their heads in small ovens for about an hour” (505). The student of this article thought up an oddly similar practice that both women and men of North American society do willingly, visit tanning salons. The men and women who go to tanning salons willingly lay inside of what is seemingly an oven lined with ultraviolet lights. Never had it ever come to the students attention as to how weird of a practice that is until he read the quote mentioned previously in this paragraph. There are obvious health risks when assuming position inside of what is essentially an oven lined with ultraviolet lights. One health risk being overexposure to ultraviolet light, greatly increase the possibility of being diagnosed with skin cancer. Yet, the North American society is willing to “look good” at the cost of potentially dying of a skin related disease. In this case, the people of North America are showing the same ignorance as the women of the Nacirema people who bake their heads in small ovens for roughly an

In conclusion, skin cancer is one of the most fatal disease in the world. There are three main types of skin cancer and the most dangerous one is melanoma. It has a number of symptoms that can be seen with naked eye. The scientists still working on developing cure that healing all the infected

Although it may seem that it is common knowledge that UV tanning beds are harmful to the human body, 7.8 million adult women and 1.9 million adult men in the United States still tan indoors. Thirty-five percent of American adults, 59 percent of college students, and 17 percent of teens have reported using a tanning bed in their lifetime. In Oregon, according to the FDA all sunlamp products must have a warning label, an accurate timer, an emergency stop control, and include an exposure schedule and protective goggles, but it should not stop there. There needs to be a heavier tax imposed on indoor tanning customers. Currently, there is a 10% tax that indoor tanners must pay. 10,000 tanning salons have closed across the country since 2010, eliminating up to 100,000 jobs and cutting the industry by half. Unfortunately, President Donald Trump is conducting the repeal of the Affordable Care Act which would lift the 10% tax imposed on indoor tanning

Yet another reason tanning beds should not be regulated is that for a vast majority of people who tan, say it helps with any of their stress and anxiety that they have been accumulating. By regulating tanning beds, the government lessens how much a person can tan, how long they can tan, and how effective tanning in the tanning beds should be. Many teenagers nowadays struggle with high anxiety and stress. For some of those, tanning in tanning beds helps tremendously with such. Not only does it help with stress, but it serves as a hobby for others. many people enjoy tanning in tanning beds, and it helps them relax, concentrate better, and is an overall enjoyable. “tanning beds can have a positive effect on one’s mental health also.This is especially true when one suffers from seasonal affective disorder.” which is stated at http://bitshare.cm/post/20547945486/the-good-side-of-tanning-beds Last, but certainly not least, The government should not regulate the use of tanning beds because there are no limitations on other harmful substances such as

It never occurred to me how UV radiations from tanning beds and the sun can have a huge impact on an individual’s life. A television personality by the name of Dr. Oz that I watch on a daily warned his audience of tanning beds, and those words that came out of his mouth opened my eyes to realize not everyone is happy in their skin. Respectively, many pale-skinned people would resort to tanning beds regardless of the effects on their skin because they felt it was a “requirement” by society. Furthermore, tanning beds make them feel “happy” since they believe they look content when they use tanning beds. I never felt the need to go to the extreme and do something to my skin that may bring unfavorable consequences later. It is not possible to go back to the past, so everyone should be kind to their skin, or many calamities will be glad to play their

Tanning beds are beds that use ultraviolet rays (UV) to give the user a cosmetic tan.

Melanoma: This type of skin cancer shows up in the pigment of the skin. Many are often not diagnosed early enough because they look like moles or other discolorations on the skin. However, Melanoma cancer will have irregular shapes and an oddly shaped border. There may also be wider variations in the colors. This type of cancer is the most dangerous as it does spread quickly to other areas in the body if it is not treated. If caught early, the prognosis is

Under the age 18, getting one bad sunburn doubles the chances of getting melanoma. Melanoma is known as the most serious type of skin cancer that appears when the cells that produce melanin become cancerous. In order to prevent this fatal cancer, parents must be responsible for putting sunscreen on their children. Also, parents should set a good example for their kids. The David Cornfield Melanoma Fund is all for the prevention of Melanoma. The rhetorical effects of pathos, ethos, and logos, from the new family rule advertisement appeals to the idea that we will all be parents someday and will need to be someone to look up to when preventing this cancer.

Every year, the indoor-tanning industry makes approximately 5 billion dollars (Wingert). Tanning attracts all different kinds of people for numerous reasons. People want that crisp glow and dark skin that is not always offered during every season. With said, there is a lot of controversy on whether tanning is healthy for you or not. Most people believe that tanning is not healthy for you because of research. It is proven through research that tanning can lead in negative outcomes because of the strength of the rays, decreased vitamin D, and the increased risk for Skin Cancer

As we already know UV (aka sunlight and artificial UV lighting) can cause forms of skin cancers. It seems to be common sense now days but we really don’t know how or why specifically and we also don’t really know what preventative measures actually work. As we grow up every day we expose ourselves to sunlight but unless we are going out to the beach or pool, we don’t take preventative measures to keep our skin safe from radiation and some are even attempting to do the complete opposite for beautification. After reading a few articles and doing some research on my own I have reached a valid argument to explain a few reasons why preventative measures need to be taken. In this essay I will first explain how radiation is bad for you skin and why we need to take these measures to fight for our lives.

Thesis: Many people do not use sun protection on a daily bases and are unaware of the health effects of sun exposure that can be easily preventive by using sun protection.

Before you head to the beach or the tanning salon, you should be learning all you can about the sunscreen you're using to protect your skin. While some sources advocate the use of sunblock and sunscreen, others shout about how the chemicals in these products are actually bad for you.
